I don't see how people who "don't give out 10/10s lightly" can give this film anywhere near a 5...

Rating: 2/10 (17 July 2013)

Kudos to the team that created the aliens and giant robots. With that said this film had MAJOR logistic flaws. How does an enormous robot get lifted by just 8 helicopters, how come they still need to talk inside the machine if their neural systems are synced, why does del toro have to play some kind of corny, predictable heroic soundtrack Every time an alien's been defeated? God, this movie almost made me cry to see how badly a movie can be despite all the money that had been spent on the high quality computer graphics. The way del toro tries to get the viewers to sympathize with the characters was so cheesy it'd kill one with lactose intolerance. I really feel sorry for the cgi team for having a screenplay/story that ruined their potentially good action movie with a decent plot/character development. If you think i'm just ranting, go watch the movie yourself. Then proceed to admire my efforts to divert you guys away from wasting 122 minutes of your life. Movie goers today must be really tolerant to weak story lines and character developments to give this film anywhere near a 5/10. I guess they're just all bought out by the expensive graphics.
